Project description:Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important mediators of chronic inflammation in numerous autoimmune diseases, although the role of these receptors in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) remains incompletely understood. Previous studies in our laboratory established Myd88 as a crucial mediator of disease, although the upstream signaling events that culminate in Myd88 activation have yet to be identified. To objective of this study was to identify specific Myd88-dependent TLR-related pathways that are dysregulated both locally and systemically in a mouse model of pSS (NOD.B10Sn-H2b/J (NOD.B10)). We performed RNA-sequencing on spleens derived from NOD.B10 mice. We then harvested salivary tissue and spleens from Myd88-sufficient and deficient C57BL/10 (BL/10) and NOD.B10 mice and performed flow cytometry to determine expression of Myd88-dependent TLRs. We then cultured splenocytes with TLR2 and TLR4 agonists and measured IL-6 secretion by ELISA. Next, we evaluated spontaneous and TLR4-mediated inflammatory cytokine secretion in NOD.B10 salivary tissue. Finally, we assessed spontaneous Myd88-dependent cytokine secretion by NOD.B10 salivary cells. We identified dysregulation of numerous TLR-related networks in pSS splenocytes, particularly those employed by TLR2 and TLR4. We found upregulation of TLRs in both the splenic and salivary tissue from pSS mice. In NOD.B10 splenic tissue, B cell TLR1, TLR2, and TLR6 expression was reduced to levels of BL/10 controls in the absence of Myd88. Splenocytes from NOD.B10 mice were hyper-responsive to TLR2 ligation and the endogenous molecule decorin modulated inflammation via TLR4. Finally, we found spontaneous secretion of numerous inflammatory cytokines and this was enhanced following TLR4 ligation in female NOD.B10 salivary tissue as compared to males. Moreover, we found that spontaneous production of salivary IL-6, MCP-1 and TNFa requires Myd88 in pSS salivary tissue. Thus, our data demonstrate that Myd88-dependent TLR pathways contribute to the inflammatory landscape in pSS, and inhibition of such will likely have therapeutic utility.

Project description:Most autoreactive B cells are normally counterselected during early B cell development. To determine whether Toll-like receptors (TLRs) regulate the removal of autoreactive B lymphocytes, we tested the reactivity of recombinant antibodies from single B cells isolated from patients deficient for IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK)-4, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and UNC-93B. Indeed, all TLRs except TLR3 require IRAK-4 and MyD88 to signal and UNC-93B-deficient cells are unresponsive to TLR3, TLR7, TLR8 and TLR9. All patients suffered from defective central and peripheral B cell tolerance checkpoints resulting in the accumulation of large numbers of autoreactive mature naïve B cells in their blood. Hence, TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9 may prevent the recruitment of developing autoreactive B cells in healthy donors. Paradoxically, IRAK-4-, MyD88- and UNC-93B-deficient patients did not display autoreactive antibodies in their serum nor developed autoimmune diseases, suggesting that IRAK-4, MyD88 and UNC-93B pathway blockade may thwart autoimmunity in humans.

Project description:Radiation therapy induces immunogenic cell death in cancer cells, whereby apoptotic cells release endogenous adjuvants that are sensed by immune cells to direct adaptive immune responses. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed on several immune subtypes recognize these products to direct downstream responses in part via the adapter protein MyD88. Here we use lineage specific deletion of Myd88 to interrogate its contribution to the immune response to radiation therapy in distinct immune populations in pancreatic cancer. While Myd88 deletion in Itgax- and Lck-expressing immune populations had little discernable effects on response to radiation therapy, Lyz2-specific loss of Myd88 rendered tumors more susceptible to radiation therapy dependent on CD8+ T cells. scRNAseq revealed gene signatures in myeloid and dendritic cells indicative of enhanced type I and II interferon responses. Together, these data implicate MyD88 signaling in myeloid cells as a critical source of immunosuppression that hinders adaptive immune tumor control following radiation therapy.

Project description:In the activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most frequent gain-of-function mutations target MyD88, a signaling adapter for Tolllike receptors (TLRs). The most prevalent oncogenic mutant, MyD88 L265P, occurs in 29% of cases and is the most active in engaging the NF-kappaB pathway. Here we show that MyD88 mutants do not function autonomously, but rather require TLR7, TLR9, and to a lesser extent, TLR4 to promote the survival of ABC DLBCL cells. Unlike wild type MyD88, MyD88 mutants associate constitutively with TLR7 and TLR9 in ABC DLBCL cells. Like ligand-induced TLR7/9 signaling in normal immune cells, the survival of ABC DLBCL cell lines depends upon translocation of TLR7 and TLR9 to acidic endolysosomes, where proteolytic processing of their ligand binding ectodomains is required for their oncogenic signaling. ABC DLBCL viability also depends upon CD14, a co-receptor for TLR7 and TLR9 that promotes engagement of nucleic acid ligands by these receptors. Point mutations in the TLR7 or TLR9 ectodomains that abrogate ligand binding and/or signaling were incapable of sustaining ABC DLBCL survival. An inhibitory oligonucleotide that suppresses TLR9 responses in normal B cells blocked NF-kappaB signaling and survival of ABC DLBCL lines. Together, these data suggest that an endogenous TLR ligand may play a pathogenic role in ABC DLBCL and provide a rationale for targeting TLR signaling to improve therapy of this aggressive lymphoma.

Project description:Leaf-to-leaf, systemic immune signaling known as systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is poorly understood in monocotyledonous plants. Here, we characterize systemic immunity in barley (Hordeum vulgare) triggered after primary leaf infection with either Pseudomonas syringae pathovar japonica (Psj) or Xanthomonas translucens pathovar cerealis (Xtc). Both pathogens induced resistance in systemic, uninfected leaves against a subsequent challenge infection with Xtc. In contrast to SAR in Arabidopsis thaliana, systemic immunity in barley was not associated with NONEXPRESSOR OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES1 or the local or systemic accumulation of salicylic acid (SA). Instead, we documented a moderate local but not systemic induction of abscisic acid (ABA) after infection of leaves with Psj. In contrast to SA or its functional analog benzothiadiazole, local applications of the jasmonic acid methyl ester or ABA triggered systemic immunity to Xtc. RNA-seq analysis of local and systemic transcript accumulation revealed unique gene expression changes in response to both Psj and Xtc and a clear separation of local from systemic responses. The systemic response appeared relatively modest and quantitative RT-PCR associated systemic immunity with the local and systemic induction of two WRKY and two ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR-like transcription factors. Systemic immunity against Xtc was further associated with transcriptional changes after a secondary/systemic Xtc challenge infection; these changes were dependent on the primary treatment. Taken together, bacteria-induced systemic immunity in barley may be mediated in part by WRKY and ERF-like transcription factors possibly facilitating transcriptional reprogramming to potentiate immunity.

Project description:The RNA-sequencing to profile patient peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, N=25), primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS, N=23), and healthy control (HD, N=24). We collected on the steady-state and 18-hours anti-CD3 culture to identify the transcriptome remodeling upon T-cell stimulation. Each patient samples were sorted for CD4+ (Th cells) and CD8+ (CTL) T lymphocytes, CD16+CD7+ cells (NK cells), and CD19+ cells (B cells).

Cell line, TMD8 ABC-DLBCL, was infected with control (shControl, Cy3), shLTR7 (Cy5) or shLTR9 (Cy5) and changes in gene expression were monitored on day 1 and day 2 after induction of the shRNA with doxycycline, co-hybridizing control and experimental samples (Cy3+Cy5), for a total of 4 arrays.

Project description:Macrophages are critical mediators of tissue homeostasis, cell proliferation, angiogenesis and tumor metastasis. The presence of TAMs is generally associated with tumor-promoting immunosuppressive function in solid tumors. These macrophages are widely acknowledged as one of the central suppressive populations within tumors, blocking effective T-cell responses. In the present study, we examined the transcriptional landscape of adaptor molecules downstream of TLRs in human cancers and found that higher expression of MYD88 is very well correlated with the tumor progression. In addition, we also found that mouse MyD88 but not TRIF, is essential for tumor progression and angiogenesis in melanoma. Interestingly, MyD88 is critical to maintain the immunosuppressive phenotype of TAMs in the tumors. Moreover, we found that interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R)-Myd88 axis regulates programmed cell death (PD)-1 expression on TAMs by promoting the recruitment of phospho-NF-κB p65 to the CR-C region of the Pdcd1 promoter. Using myeloid-cell specific MyD88 mutant mice, we also showed that MyD88 expression in myeloid cells alone is sufficient to drive the melanoma progression. Thus, IL-1R/MyD88 axis maintains the immunosuppressive function of tumor-tissue macrophages to promote tumor growth by regulating PD-1/PD-L1 expression
